Team
Today, Anchor is one person. By design.
Adam Tomas Pangelinan. Founder. Engineer. Operator.
Anchor runs lean on purpose. Fewer hands means tighter feedback loops, faster shipping, no internal sales-engineering ping-pong. When the work outgrows one operator, we bring in trusted collaborators on a project basis. Never bodies-on-billable-hours.
Builders, this door is open.
Engineers, designers, writers, marketers, operators. If you ship and want to ship more, send us your last 90 days of work. Cash work, equity work, side bets, open-source contributions all on the table.
Services
